Sacrificial Giving is a Response to the Generosity of God.
Our gifts should be:
Planned. Plan ahead of time what we intend to give, and have our gift
ready at collection time. Don’t simply drop a spare dollar in the basket or
let it pass by without giving.
Proportionate. Our giving should be in proportion to how greatly God has
blessed us.
Sacrificial. We ought to give more than just what is left over after taking
care of all our needs and wants.
Thankful. Our offering should be a grateful response to the immense love
God has shown for us.
Dar con sacrificio, es una respuesta a la generosidad de Dios.
Nuestros ofrenda debe ser:
Planeada. Planear con tiempo cuanto va a ser mi ofrenda, y tenerlo listo
para el tiempo de la colecta. No solamente soltar un dólar o dejar pasar la
canasta sin dar nada.
Proporcionalmente. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser en proporción a lo muncho
que Dios nos ha bendecido.
Sacrificialmente. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser mas de lo que simplemente nos
sobra despues de haber tomado para todas nuestras necesidades y deseos.
Agradecimiento. Nuestra ofrenda debe ser una acción de gracias a Dios,
por el inmenso amor que nos ha manifestado.

WHY PRAY?
"For Zion's sake I will not be silent, for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her vindication shines forth like
the dawn and her victory like a burning torch." —Isaiah 62:1
At the wedding of Cana, Mary told Jesus: "They have no more wine" (Jn 2:3). Jesus seemed to respond that He wasn't
going to do anything about it because His hour had not yet come (Jn 2:4). Then Jesus changed the water into wine (Jn 2:9).
Did Jesus change His mind? Did Mary talk or pray Jesus into changing His mind? Can our prayers get God to do things for
us?
The answer to these questions is "No." God doesn't change His mind (see Mal 3:6), and we don't have to talk or pray God
into doing things for us. He loves us so much that He wants to do for us much more than we can ever want done.
The purpose of this conversation between Mary and Jesus may be to show us the importance and power of Mary's prayer
and also of our prayers. Prayer is one of our major ways of participating in God's plan. We are not just the beneficiaries of
the Lord's work; we are co-workers with Him (1 Cor 3:9). We are not merely incidental to the Lord's work; we are so
important that we can even move up the timing of God's plan (see 2 Pt 3:12). Because the Lord has chosen to make us
important, our prayers are extremely important. Pray accordingly.
